Sensor and method for detecting androstenone or skatole in boar taint (2016)
Patent
Hart, J., Crew, A., McGuire, N., & Doran, O. (2016). Sensor and method for detecting androstenone or skatole in boar taint. EP2966441 A1

The present application is concerned with a sensor system for and a method of detecting, and preferably quantifying, androstenone (CAS Reg.No. 18339-16-7) and/or skatole (CAS Reg. No. 83-34-1), the chemicals associated with boar taint. In a preferred... Read More about Sensor and method for detecting androstenone or skatole in boar taint.
